TROOP 464 WOW!!!
What a Great Opportunity
The 6th Annual Lunar New Years
Parade and Festival
February 18, 2007 – 9AM* - 5PM* - In Downtown Pasadena

Troop 464

has been invited by KSCI-TV, the sponsoring coordinator, to be the
official volunteer organization to participate in this year’s parade and
festival that will draw performers, celebrities and participants from Japan,
Korea, The Philippine Islands, China, and other Pacific Rim countries.
This is the fifth year that Troop 464
has been awarded this honor.
We are proud to take part in this year’s celebration that is expected to draw
thousands
of people to watch and participate as in the past.

Because of the enormous amount of participants, including
political and entertainment dignitaries from around the world and the USA, there
will be law enforcement agencies and private security firms in the area for
protection and safety.

Scouts will primarily be
used as banner carriers but in the past they have been used as:

Helping around the back stage area
Runners and escorts
Blowing up and handing out balloons and other Lunar Day souvenirs

§

Scouts
are expected to wearTroop 464Class A uniforms, including
scarves

for the entire time they are participating. (Scout Shorts (with
Scout Sox) are optional.)

§

Troop 464will leave from Jo Ann's
parking lot at 8:30AM* and return at 6PM* to the park.

*We would love to have families and friends join us - So,
if you wish to drive yourselves, FREE parking passes will be supplied
and you can leave when your Scouts have finished their tasks. If you stay,
the Scouts can stay in or change out of their uniforms.

§

There is
no cost to participants and all drivers will receive parking passes.

(Boys will have to pay for their own food, drinks,
souvenirs, games and amusement rides)

§

"Big
Name" celebrities from many different countries will perform on
stage after the parade.

§

*If
Troop 464Scouts have their own
transportation, they can leave or stay with

family and friends to see the entire venue and the
area’s great shops and restaurants.

The parade and festivities will be shown on KSCI-TV Channel 18
on a future
date. The celebration may also be shown in many Pacific Rim Countries.

Each

Troop 464
Scout who participates will receive service hours that can be used for
advancement to a new rank.
KSCI-TV has indicated that each
Troop 464 Scout
and adult participant will receive an official souvenir pack.
Don’t be a non-participant!
Troop 464 is relying on all of our Scouts to take part in this enormous event.
As in the past the Scouts should really enjoy being in the parade which is only
about a mile walk.
Later, the Scouts can visit the game booths, rides and other locations like a
county fair.
The acts include up-beat music from the hit charts of the participating
countries plus cultural, traditional and folk numbers that will be of interest.
